Hi, I'm
Nikkita

I’ve always been fascinated by the miracle of pregnancy and birth, even before I had my own children.

Eager and naive, I welcomed my first birth after my water broke. Unfortunately, I hadn’t prepared myself with childbirth classes and unknowingly relinquished my autonomy to the hospital staff. After several medical interventions and being confined to the bed for my entire labor, my first baby was born. Despite a healthy vaginal birth, she was taken to the NICU and given formula against my wishes.

Assuming my previous birth experience would be sufficient, I neglected to prepare for my second childbirth. That proved to be foolish, as my labor was more challenging and intense, leading to a hasty decision for an epidural and prolonged bed rest. My second baby was born happy and healthy and in contrast to my first birth, we were able to bond during the golden hour.

When I got pregnant again, I knew I was going to do everything differently. I invested time in educating myself, preparing my body, and surrounding myself with supportive people and environments to help me achieve my goal of an unmedicated waterbirth. I learned so much about the birthing process and the capabilities of my body. With newfound confidence and peace, I felt closer to God, who had made this miracle possible. My third and final birth experience was everything I prayed for and more. It was miraculous and beautiful in every way.

My pregnancy and birth journeys, with their trials and triumphs, led me to become a doula. As a Black doula and mother, I understand the unique challenges that Black expectant women face during pregnancy and childbirth, and I am passionate about empowering women with the knowledge, support, and confidence they need to have their own peaceful birthing experience. I am committed to walking alongside you on this incredible journey of motherhood, honoring your vulnerability and celebrating your strength every step of the way.

Let’s work together to create a birth story you’ll cherish forever.
